Key Initiatives

An important part of the CoLCPA is to instigate and support crime
prevention initiatives. We have been instrumental in the start up and
development of bothProject Griffin,CSSC (Cross-Sector Safety and Communications) and the Building Security Accreditation scheme.

We are extremely grateful to the Commissioner of Police for the City of London Police and his officers for their continued support as we equally are to all other law enforcement agencies and friends of the Association.

Such is the importance attached to the continuation and development of the Association that personal encouragement has been given by the Home Office, the Chairman of the Police Committee and the Commissioner of the City of London Police.

Charitable status

Our prudent management of our fees and other income enables us to comfortably meet our charity commission requirements. We are making charitable preventative donations in the region of £25,000 per year.

We have provided financial support to a number of crime prevention initiatives and projects embracing the City community as a whole.

For example, we have supported the taxi marshalling scheme at Liverpool St station since its inception, helping travellers and those socialising in the City to get home safely.

We are also proud to support the City of London Police Voluntary Cadet scheme.
